Redmine Redmine - Feature #11265 (Closed): Allow non-members to be added as watchershttps://www.redmine.org/issues/112652012-06-26T21:13:42ZBrendan Abel
<p>This ticket requests a single feature:</p>
<ul>
<li>Update the "add watcher" interface on issues to allow the addition of non-members of a project as watchers on an issue.</li>
</ul>
<p>This has been asked for and partially addressed several times in the past:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Add issue watcher that isn't a maintainer (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/3448">#3448</a> - Never addressed. This issue is still open, but it is a slightly different request regarding the scalability of the "add watcher" interface for extremely large numbers of users.</li>
<li><a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Ability to add Non-Member watchers to the watch list (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5159">#5159</a> - The solution to this ticket allowed users to <strong>add themselves</strong> as a watcher if they weren't a member, but it didn't allow other people to add them.</li>
<li><a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Display/add/remove watchers that are non-members on a project (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/6065">#6065</a> - This ticket re-iterated the problem with the solution to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Ability to add Non-Member watchers to the watch list (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5159">#5159</a> -- "[add additional users] without having to send them an email asking them to go to this ticket and press *watch" -- but it was dismissed as a duplicate of <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Patch: Add multiple watchers at once and add any redmine user as a watcher (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/6226">#6226</a>.</li>
<li><a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Patch: Add multiple watchers at once and add any redmine user as a watcher (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/6226">#6226</a> - The patch submitted for this ticket supposedly solved the issue, but doesn't look to have been included in the trunk. It was subsequently closed as a duplicate of <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Ability to add Non-Member watchers to the watch list (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5159">#5159</a>.</li>
<li><a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Allow non-members to watch issues (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/9942">#9942</a> - This asked for 3 features. 2 of the features were already implemented in <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Ability to add Non-Member watchers to the watch list (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5159">#5159</a>. The third feature is similar to the request for this issue. This was closed as a duplicate of <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Ability to add Non-Member watchers to the watch list (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5159">#5159</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>DO NOT CLOSE THIS TICKET as a duplicate of any of the issues listed above.</p>
